1965 VW Squareback 4 speed manual transmission. Twin Solex carbs. The story with this car is that it was purchased new in Europe and brought back to the US with the original owner. It is fitted with a kilometers odometer. This car has been fitted with a replacement VIN tag on the door pillar by the Missouri Highway Patrol. It is NOT a salvage or rebuilt car. The Missouri title is clear and current. Obviously the car has been repainted a pearl pink that is not original to the car. The repaint is comprehensive in the sense that the door jams and under the hood and all interior metal was painted as well. The headliner and all interior panels, seats and door panels were restored to compliment the paint. The car is fitted with later model "high-back seats". We purchased the car from a customer of ours and proceeded to service the front end with new ball joints and an alignment service. We replaced the rear wheel cylinders and flushed the brake system. 4 new tires on wide 5 chrome wheels. The car was fitted with an aftermarket poor quality generator. We have installed a good original 12 volt VW Type III generator (with cooling hole) and new brushes. All the lights, signals and horn work as they should. The rear seat folds down flat and and is fully functional. There are a couple patched spots in the floor (the battery tray is fixed and solid) and the floors have been undercoated. The rockers and wheels wells are all solid and aside from the two pics of the fenders the car is cosmetically and structurally rust free. This is good example of an older custom restoration. The car starts, idles and runs and drives well. There are not many solid Squarebacks left anymore and there are certainly not too many PINK ones. THIS CAR TURNS A LOT OF HEADS!!

Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
Witness this insane 736-hp VW Golf immolate its front tires
Mon, 11 Mar 2013There's torque steer and then there's what we'll from now on dub "The Boba," as in Boba Kettler. The German tuner has a way with the Volkswagen Golf, and the MkI example you see above has been touched with 736 horsepower - that's right, 96 more ponies than a new SRT Viper, all trying to get to ground through those two front wheels.
The 2.0-liter, 16-valve engine has an 8,800 rpm redline and is aided by a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger shoving 50 psi through the internals. Other upgrades include a new ECU (natch) and a six-speed 'box among other treats. The rubber is Toyo R888s - street-legal competition tires. The result is enough smoke for three Chinese New Years when the lights go green. Indeed, the standing start isn't its forte, but it can apparently get from 62 miles per hour to 124 mph in five seconds.
Watch it go in the video below. And know that this isn't even Boba's best work; he's got a 900-hp MkII Golf that'll do 0-62 mph in 2.3 seconds.
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
